Reply to comment by Mountain_Monitor_262 in [23M] [57M] My father refuses to accept I don't want a relationship with him. How do I end it for good? by BringbackDreamBars

That’s laughable. He knows but doesn’t care what he wants but only what he feels is owed to him. Don’t be naive to dysfunctional parental dynamics and their amazing ability to be willfully in denial.

Of course his dad has his own fictional scenario in his head. The dad hears the words and it goes out the other ear. That’s why he needs to put it in writing even though his dad denies it. It’s a reminder of what an AH he is. Sending a direct message was the kind, reasonable method. OP could post a letter to his dad on SM with all this instead.

It would not matter as long be dealt with this personally myself and you tell them in any and all ways and they still “won’t know why”. It’s because they do not want to know and just want you (OP in this case) to do what they want to do and to hell with what you want or need.

So OP should just stop playing their game and drop the rope and move on.
